The bore 53b in the middle piston 52b acts in the Fig. 10 visible position as a Venturi nozzle, wherein liquid is sucked from the container 6b through the bore 54b and mixed with the water flowing through. Will • If the piston slide 21b is released, the spring pushes it 49b into the position shown in FIG. 11, in which the piston 43b on the screw 50b serving as a stop comes to the plant / and the mixing pipe 2b directly with the Spout 26b is connected. Can be seen in FIG. 11 The outside use position of the device is the j | leading into the interior of the container and opening into the bore 20b at 59b The passage covered by the sealing rings of the piston 44b, so that no liquid can leak out of the container 6b.

In the example according to FIGS. 12 to 14, 6c designates the liquor container with the closure plug 16c serving to close the filling opening and the mixing pipe 2c. These is in connection at the lower end with the transverse bore 20c, in which the piston slide 21c is axially displaceable within two limit divisions determined by the stop screw 53c. The one screwed to the container 6c is at 46c Socket with the constriction serving as a venturi nozzle lic. " denotes the latter via a narrow metering bore 12c, an annular channel 47c and a bottom opening 60c is in communication with the liquor container 6c. The piston valve 21c is provided at both ends with one pusher surface 42c and has two pistons 43c and 44c, which are supported by the im Diameter offset slide part 61c in a: certain Are kept spaced from each other, Hit 26c is the outlet designated. ,

Waeser through the Mixing nozzle lic flows, creating a suction which sucks liquid out of the container 6c. That in the nozzle lic produced water-Liquorgeraisch then flows over the (not shown) flexible line to the mouthpiece. If the piston valve 21c is in the other limit position, in Flg. 14 to the right, shifted, ao the connection between the mixing pipe 2c and the nozzle 46c

fk is interrupted and at the same time the connection of the mixing pipe 2c with the outlet 26c is established so that the water flowing through the mixing pipe and the piston chamber 45c can flow out directly into the wash basin via the outlet 26c. Since there is no negative pressure in the mixing nozzle lic in this position of the piston slide, no liquid can escape despite the direct connection of the container 6c to the mixing nozzle, because with the hermetically sealing plug 16c and after repeated use of the device in the container 6c, the liquid level drops a vacuum is created, which

™ retains the liquid in the container. Only when in the Mixing nozzle Hc creates a certain negative pressure, which is greater than the vacuum in the container, liquid flows through the metering opening 12c, but can if necessary In this embodiment, too, a check valve can be installed in the line between the mixing nozzle and the liquor container, as shown in FIG.
